The Ajebo Hustlers duo comes through with Bad Boy Etiquette 102: Continuous Assessment, an album that stands as a testament to their growth and artistry. Building on the success of their previously released Bad Boy Etiquette 101, Piego and Knowledge dive deeper into the complexities of life, love, ambition, and the universal struggles faced by the Nigerian youth.

The 10-track album announcement, ushered by a captivating video that garnered significant attention on social media platforms, set the stage for an eagerly anticipated musical journey. True to their mission of edutainment, each song on the album feels like a mini-lesson as they tackle a variety of experiences, from the relentless pursuit of dreams in Dreams II to the complexities of relationships in Undecided and the fight against addiction in Last Week.

The opening track, Dreams II, is an instant fan favorite. Featuring collaborations with industry heavyweights like Zlatan and Blaqbonez, the motivational anthem, produced by Niphkeys, is filled with unmatched energy as the rappers deliver verses about the relentless hustling habit in every Nigerian youth. The line that says "A wise man once asked me how bad do you want it?" perfectly captures the internal natural struggle in chasing aspirations.

Last Week takes on the theme of addiction head-on with surprising sincerity, with Jeriq the Hussler lending his raw talent to deliver a poignant narrative about the struggles of quitting smoking, only to find solace in them once again.

You Go Know, a standout hit from the album, offers a gritty portrayal of the Nigerian hustle mentality. Here, the duo injects street wisdom into the hustle narrative, reminding listeners to stay sharp with lines like "If you no use your head, them go use am drink garri." Rendered in Nigerian pidgin, the track resonates with audiences who understand some level of Nigerian pidgin, capturing the essence of street culture with authenticity and depth.

Wicked offers a dose of heartbreak with sultry lyrics and a catchy melody, while Celine Dion featuring Industry machine Odumodublvck is a smooth rap-infused Afrobeats gem that highlights the duo's effortless synergy and storytelling prowess.

In Undecided, Raebel’s soulful vocal shines as they both explore the idea of defining what you want in a relationship and the quest for clarity in matters of the heart while Magixx lends his talent to the smooth Kisses II another exploration of love's complexities.

The duo maintains high energy in the track No Wam showcasing each person's talent while collaborations with Ghanaian music icons King Promise and Sarkodie on Sweet & Sour and Burn My Cable II, respectively, add a dynamic flair to the album, closing it with a bang.

The album’s track and collaborative lineup stand as a testament to Ajebo Hustlers’ ambition to stamp their position as a leading voice in contemporary Nigerian music when it comes to authenticity. The thoroughly executed vision in this Bad Boy Etiquette sequel keeps fans wanting more of this potential series which seamlessly blends entertainment with insightful social commentary, offering relatable stories wrapped in infectious melodies.
